I don't like Erdogan, but I must post that this speech was in response to a specific incident (There was a PKK propaganda tent in Brussels, Turkish govt asked it to be taken down, Belgian govt. declined to do so).

So in his classic aggressive style, he said in summary "The Belgians are supporting the terrorists that kill our people. There's no reason why terrorists won't start bombing their people."

Any TL;DR on how the linked author undermines the 3 quoted bulletpoints? I've skimmed through, but I can't seem to find them.

Also, the linked page has a map showing the Armenian population, which conveniently crops off western Turkey. I can't provide source right now, but I live in Turkey, and I know there was (and still is) a very significant population of Armenians living in western Turkey, especially in Istanbul and Izmir.

Does the author provide an explanation to why the Armenians living in western Turkey were unaffected by the 'genocide'?

I have a laptop (6-cell li-ion battery), but 80% of the time I use it at home. Which is better for longer battery life - keeping the charger plugged in all the time (at home), or unplugging when full, using till 10-15% charge, then replugging to recharge, and repeat?

I had a new laptop with 8.1 pre-installed. When I installed linux, windows stopped booting. When I got windows repaired, linux stopped booting. It took me a few trials of repairing windows and grub to get them both booting normally.

From what I've read, it's something got to do with uefi, but I'm not really knowledgeable about that. I've just blindly tried various solutions I found on the net.

First, in contrast to your other comment below, I definitely count cellphones as a biggie. Simplest reason - I used to meet with a friend at a certain place at a certain time. If they didn't show up, I had no choice but to wait for some time, then decide something came up, and leave. Usually, I didn't know what happened until the day after. Sometimes, it turned out, we could have met if I had waited 5 minutes more.

Second, smartphones. That's a whole different category than cellphones. I often forget I can take a picture right there (of documents, people, funny stuff, etc). I often forget I can get online right there (to search for trivial info). I envy how it's common sense for younger people.

Third, travel. Going abroad was a big thing when I was young. Erasmus didn't exist. Couchsurfing didn't exist. You had to be fairly rich to visit one foreign country. I envy how people in their early 20s have visited twice more countries than I currently have.

Fourth, cars. Having an A/C was considered luxury when I was young. Now we have auto-cruise, rear-cameras, self-parking, and frigging navigators.

And finally, I think you're underestimating the interwebs as one biggie. It's at least ten. Email, irc, skype, google, ebay, twitter, youtube, amazon, paypal, craigslist. They have each changed my life in a unique way. I remember writing a letter to computer magazine, asking how an ms-dos command works. I was lucky, and my letter was chosen as part of the Q&A section two months later, and replied in print.

Zippos don't have a valve, unlike BICs and the like. If you keep it on your person all the time, your body heat accelerates the evaporation of the gas from the wick.

This is also why many zippo owners take it out and put it on the table when they sit down at a bar or something. Not to show off, but to save fuel.

ETA:

Wasn't looking, and wasn't expecting so many upvotes. Not sure how many upvoters will come back to read this, but here goes (I'm not an expert or collector or anything, just long time user. Speaking from what I've been told and what I've experienced):

Front pants pocket is the worst place to keep your zippo. Back pocket is slightly lower heat, but not worth the trouble if you plan on sitting. If you're wearing layers, a pocket in the outmost layer is best. Even then, if you're sitting down for some time, it's probably better to just take it out of your pocket and rest it on the table, even if you won't use it.

If you're a gal, keep it in your purse and you're golden.

Basically, whenever you pick it up to light one, and it feels warm in your hand, you've been wasting gas.

And the lack of valve is not a design fault, it's a design choice. The sound it makes when you light one is a result of this choice.
